- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the end of the financial year, Wheeldon Brothers reported net assets of £11.53 million and cash reserves of £4.77 million. Post-year-end trading remains consistent, and the directors are confident in the company's ability to manage current risks effectively. Accordingly, the company continues to prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “increased sales, particularly from weighbridge services. Tipping and recycling waste now account for approximately 69% of turnover (up from 67% in 2024), while the remaining 31% (2024: 33%) comes from bin, rolonof, and skip hire. These results reflect strategic investments in a new website and enhanced marketing efforts.”
- “installed solar panels at its Bury site and implemented tree-planting initiatives to offset its carbon footprint.”
